Welcome JZ! I'm sure it's difficult to maintain good readings not being able to exercise. What meds, if any, do you take for your diabetes?
Are these your fasting/morning readings, or after meal readings?
If you don't already, i'd encourage you to watch your carbs closely while you're off your feet.
Times of stress/pain (physical and/or mental) can cause blood sugars to elevate. Make sure your doc is aware of your readings, and continue to keep an eye on them.
